As someone who is very concerned about the escalation of this war into a possible global conflict, I can only say it seems like it would be a very wise and prudent move for Russia to withdraw all troops from Ukraine (including Crimea) immediately, in the name of peace.

Russia said the West was playing with fire by considering allowing Ukraine to strike deep into Russia with Western missiles and cautioned the United States on Tuesday that World War Three would not be confined to Europe.

Twice since launching his war against Ukraine on Feb. 24, Russian President Vladimir Putin has assured the Russian people that his “special military operation” is going according “to plan.”

“Everything is going according to plan,” Putin told Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko when discussing the planned nuclear deployment at the Russian leader’s Black Sea summer retreat in Sochi.

Putin says advance of Russian forces in Ukraine is going to plan

May 15, 2024 7:04 AM PDT

MOSCOW, May 15 (Reuters) - President Vladimir Putin said on Wednesday that Russian forces were improving their positions every day along the front in Ukraine in all directions and that the advance was going to plan.

I have been repeatedly informed that the Three Day Special Military Operation is going according to plan.

While I am certain that Putin would not lie about the TDSMO going according to plan, and am sure that this is all part of The Plan, I am starting to wonder about the actual merits of his plan.

Kremlin not owning up responsibility they started a war of aggression against their neighbor because they were worried said neighbor would cozy up to the west and elevate themselves out of this post-soviet dark age. If a world war does kick off because Russo-Ukrainian War conflict, the history books will record it’s start date of 27 Feb 14, when Russian invaded Crimea after the Maidan Revolution went sharply against Russian interests.

Russia has been saying that for like 60 years

Russia shouldn’t have started shit then.

If you don’t think we’re already in World war 3 I’ve got a bridge to sell ya.

Russia should get realistic and just wave the white flag already. But Ukraine is not without mercy. They understand if there is no more white cloth in Russia. White cloths stained brown, yellow, and red are still acceptable for surrender.

Russia better be careful their sabre doesn’t fall apart considering how frequently and aggressively they rattle it.

This is like the wife beater screaming at his wife “why are you making me do this!?”

I guess the story of the boy who cried wolf was never translated into Russian.

Maybe someone should warn the countries supplying Russia too, you fucking fiend.
